Eric Ravilious for Wedgwood, “Travel” soup bowl

About the Item

Rare bowl, great condition for age and use. And if you haven’t seen the documentary about Ravilious, Drawn to War, released in 2022, you should! There’s so much to this artist who died when his plane went down in the 2nd World War. “The designs that Ravilious created for Wedgwood are, for me, a perfect example of collaboration between artist and industry. His original artwork was subsequently engraved onto copperplate by skilled craftspeople at Wedgwood to create the paper transfers which would be fired onto the china. The vignettes and borders applied to plates, mugs and coffee pots retain the subtle tone and fine line of his wood-engraved vignettes and lithographs. The looping border of his ‘Persephone’ design and the twist motif created for ‘Garden’, each laid on a softly shaded band of colour, are unmistakably Ravilious. His original drawings for designs, sometimes incorporating collaged wood-engraved motifs and with areas cut away or patched over, are revealing of his thought processes.” - Artist Angie Lewin
